Hi,
I just installed Fedora 10 on a 9650SE raid controller with a Raid 1
configuration. The installation was successful. I have not been able to
boot yet. Looks like initrd cannot access swap event though it loads
3w-9xxx properly. details follow.
The first boot attempt complained that the resume device did not exist,
so i booted into rescue, but none of the partitions were mounted. Then i
booted into rescue again, and mounted /, modified fstab by replacing
labels, UUIDs, with corresponding partition names.../dev/sda[1-9]. Then
i rebooted into rescue and all partitions were mounted and i was able to
chroot /mnt/sysimage, and then regenerated initrd so it picks up changes
in fstab.
When i try to boot the system again from disk i get the following error.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
sda: Setting up hotplug

This was my first attempt at installing and booting from a raid
controller.
Any thoughts.....??
There have been a few similar reports to this in bugzilla.
I think mkinitrd isn't waiting long enough for the device to settle
before it tries to mount it.
